Update from Maze Manager


Wow! Where has the Summer gone….and only 3 weeks until the opening day of our 2011 Scott’s Maze Adventures, on Saturday the 17th of September. This is going on our 9th year! That’s 9 different 7 acre corn mazes from Long & Scott Farms! Great Scott we have come a Long way baby.

It has been a busy week at the Farm. The design was cut on Monday and the tilling of the paths followed, anytime Farmer Hank got an hour or two away from the office. Of course his cell phone still works in the Corn Maze and business must go on. Now we grow, we weed & mow, we re-paint, we repair and we are installing the new Jumping Pillow! We have heard from many of you that are excited to get lost in this year’s maze design and to see what is new out here at the Farm. We have got fun events planned for the weekends and are looking forward to seeing new and old friends alike.

You can save time by buying tickets online. It is easy and safe. Payment is done through PayPal. Just go out to our website and look for online tickets. We are also taking group reservations for weekdays, Fridays fill up fast so reserve your date and time now!

Fall Update

We hope you're all doing well and have enjoyed a wonderful summer. We've been busy here at the farm and are excited about the fall 2011 season. The farm will be opening to the public earlier this year (and staying open longer) in our continuing effort to better serve your needs.

Scott's Country Market will open on Friday, September 16th, and Scott’s Maze Adventures on Saturday, September 17th. Every weekend will be filled with lots to do and we have a great Christmas celebration planned in December, complete with Santa and Christmas trees for sale. As ever, we’re hoping Mother Nature cooperates with our dates so you can purchase our famous Scott's Zellwood Sweet Gourmet Corn and Great Scott Kirby cucumbers, along with a variety of fresh local produce and other treats from our market. If we do harvest any earlier than the 16th, we'll be selling corn at our farm stand on Highway 441, across from the country airport just south of Zellwood. Please check our website for updates at http://www.longandscottfarms.com/SweetGourmet.htm

Saturday, September 17th marks the grand opening of our 2011 corn maze, ‘Renewable Energy’ and our Fall Festival. We have many new additions to our park this year, including a Jumping Pillow. Stay turned to our website www.longandscottfarms.com and Facebook pages https://www.facebook.com/ScottsMazeAdventures for special promotions and discounts for that day. You'll note that we have some special-event Saturdays and weekends planned which will be filled with lots of surprises and events, along with games and prizes, so be sure to stay in touch!

As you know, weekdays at the farm are reserved for school groups. Please help support our activities by asking your local schools to schedule some field trips to the farm - they are not only educational, but great fun for the kids! We also have great team building events for companies and are happy to tailor a program suited to those needs. Don't forget that you can purchase your individual maze tickets online and also make reservations for your group by filling out our form and sending it in to us directly from the website.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all here this fall. Until then, best wishes from everyone at Long & Scott and thank you for your support and continued patronage!

Corn Maze Update

The Corn Maze has been planted! We are most thankful for the rain, but the very heavy showers washed away the seeds and we have had to replant a few rows. Most of the stalks are about a foot high already. But don't worry, by opening day we will have a maze. So get ready to get LOST in the corn! Stay tuned as we get things in shape and have some new things out here! More to come soon...
